Microsoft Teams have introduced the ability for users to share content from their mobile device to a larger screen, TV and/ or monitor simply by heading over to a Teams Room! Users are now able to project the content directly from their device, without the need of setting up a Teams meeting.

There are a few things you will need to ensure are set up prior to casting from your device:

  • The Teams mobile app must be installed on the mobile device, and Bluetooth must be enabled.
  • Both the mobile device and the Teams Rooms device must be connected to the internet.
  • The mobile device must be within 10 meters (32.8 feet) of the room device.

Important to note: Everything on your device screen, including notifications, will be projected so you may want to set your device to Do Not Disturb before sharing your screen.

​So let’s get started!

1. In Teams, tap Cast in the navigation bar. If you don’t see the Cast app when you open Teams, tap More   to access it.
